I have been MIA lately. I feel like I got nothin' to say, yet even as I type that I know it's ridiculous. I have been reflecting on the past year and realize that I have more than enough material! I am grateful for all the people, both family and friends, that I am fortunate enough to know. Maybe it's because I am on the down side of my 30's or maybe it's because by baby boy is graduating from high school this year; not sure what it is, but I have been counting my blessings lots more these days. I have always been unconditionally loved by my family, supported by my friends, and have had more than any person needs to live comfortably, however I can say the road hasn't always been an easy one. I am in an especially comfortable place right now and I feel lucky that I am aware and present in these moments. These are the top 10 things I am grateful for right now:
- My children are beautiful, happy, and healthy.
- My husband loves me in a way that is hard for me to comprehend.
- My parents are healthy.
- My children will carry memories of the relationship with their nana and papa with them long after nana and papa are gone. Some of my BEST memories are of my mam-ma and papa.
- My sister and I have become best friends.
- I'm thankful for those few extra pounds I have put on because it means I have enough to eat.
- I'm thankful for that gym membership that will help me take those pounds off when I stop making a pig of myself.
- I'm thankful for my messy house and the laundry that piles up because it means we are living life.
- I'm thankful that when I start freaking out about the messy house and the laundry that piles up, people get to work before momma freaks out.
- I'm thankful that TCC offers free tuition so I get to keep my boy home with me a little longer...he will most assuredly not be adding this to the list of things he is thankful for.
